The first totem can be found just behind Astrid. Aim through the structure’s hole on the right side and throw your axe .
The second Totem can be found northwest of the island. Stand in the left corner and find its fire vessel hiding behind the rocks.
You’ll have to scale the wall in the upper right corner of the island to destroy the last totem. Once at the top, you’ll want to be near the terrace so you may hurl your axe at the chain supporting the fire jug.
Return to the Spirit
Lastly, return and talk to Astrid. This will wrap up the Garden for the Dead favor and yield Svartalfheim’s Safety Amulet Enchantment.
